Recreation Connects with More Safety

CASE Lexan Call Boxes Debut in Utah

Getting away from it all is part of the appeal of the great outdoors… but it can leave people with less access to help or emergency services. In Utah, where many popular recreation areas for hunting grounds, ranches, driving ranges, and campgrounds are located far from town and away from cell-phone signals, local officials wanted a way to provide additional security for residents and visitors.

CASE Lexan Call Boxes were the answer.

As the first installation of its kind in the state of Utah, the simple closed-box design with a solar-powered battery and wireless satellite-phone capabilities made CASE the easy and effective choice. Located at the Iron County Shooting Range and in Cedar Canyon along SR 14, the initial response to the public safety phones has been nothing but positive.

“The Iron County Sheriff’s Office is very excited about the addition of these satellite phones in these remote locations. This will help all emergency services in Iron County to rapidly respond to emergencies where there is little or no cell phone coverage.”

What others are saying

The phones are simple to use. One need only open the call box and follow the 4-step instructions. These are a unique and valuable asset to the County, and we hope that individuals will recognize their value and help us maintain and protect them so if and when they are needed, they can serve members of and visitors to our great community in times of need.

Since the Call Box has been installed we have had two medical calls which were critical cases. Thanks to the Call Box Law, medical aid was at location in 10 minutes or so. In the past with no cell coverage folks had to drive out of the canyon… This would add about 30 minutes to the response time. We believe lives were saved due to the Call Box.

I cannot say enough about CASE Emergency Systems and our working relationship with them. We are early in the process, but are implementing a 3-year plan to replace our 24 existing phones and add 18 more. The simplicity of installation, the automatic daily self-diagnostic reports, the low maintenance, and the company’s overall service are outstanding. Our current project and initial installations are our first use of CASE products. They are excellent on all counts, and we will continue to use CASE Emergency Systems into the foreseeable future.

Thank you everyone, this means a lot to my department as we work toward improving public safety and officer safety. Every person who calls us from a phone box at the bottom foot paths lowers the chance of harming themselves and us getting harmed as we work to help them.

Thank you for the phones. They work flawlessly, and the members love them.
